1. 2-day Diskwento
Caravan nets P337K sales





Tuesday 17th of June 2014


TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite, June 5
(PIA) – The 2-day “Balik Eskwela” Diskwento Caravan organized by the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Cavite recently generated a total sales of
P337,257.38 for the 16 participating exhibitors.





The activity held at the
parking area beside the Government Center building located in this
city, turned out to be successful as all exhibitors are more
than willing to take part in the next caravan to be announced later on by
the DTI-Cavite.





Buyers enjoyed the discounted
prices of prime commodities offered during the caravan,
especially the parents who bought school supplies, bags, shoes, uniforms,
lunch boxes, umbrella, raincoats, and prime commodities.





Aside from
DTI-Cavite,  the provincial Technical, Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA) offered free haircut. Likewise, a Small and
Medium Enterprises corner (SMEs) limited to local food and handicraft producers
gave 10 percent discount to the customers. DTI staff likewise distributed
information material on fair trade laws.





The expansion of ‘Diskwento Caravan’
aimed to bring discounted goods particularly basic and prime commodities to the
consumers in the countryside, thus, provide them relief from the effect of
rising fuel prices to prime commodities. It was also designed to help alleviate
the lives of  workers through this non-wage benefit package.





Since 2011 DTI-Cavite has been
conducting Diskwento Caravan to different places in the province. With positive
results of the implementation, the project continues to address the needs of
the consumers particularly the marginalized sectors of the society.

2. Tanay nabs 2014
Regional Literacy Search Award; gets national finalist spot
Tuesday 17th of June
2014
        
TANAY,
Rizal, June 17 (PIA)  --The
local government of Tanay recently
topped the 2014 Regional Literacy Search for Outstanding Literacy Program and
Outstanding Local Government Unit (LGU), Class A Municipality category.

With
the win, Tanay automatically qualifies for the National Literacy Awards, LGU
Level A category  in which the validation will be announced soon.

The
local government of Tanay has been carrying out a comprehensive approach to
ensuring optimum literacy for out-of-school youth, ALS learners, persons with
disability, senior citizens, members of the Muslim community, indigenous
peoples (IPs), farmers, and regular students.

Among
the various
literacy programs that Tanay has been
vigorously implementing are; Karunungan ng mga Katutubo sa Bulubundukin ng
Tanay (KABULTAN), Mobile libraries,
Continuing Education
Program

for ALS learners, Bigay Kinabukasan sa Selda, Madrasah, Special Education
Program, Establishment of new public elementary and secondary schools in select
areas across the municipality, Technical skills education, Training of IPs to
serve as community health workers, Scholarship programs, Responsible parenting
and family planning class literacy programs and Sustainable rice production
training

Tanay
has 95.34 percent recorded literacy based on the 2010 figures released by the
NSO now Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). While it is mostly an urbanized
area, Tanay still has remote locations with previously limited access to
educational opportunities.

The
town is
home to the Indigenous People (IPs),
particularly the Dumagats and Remontados. To cater to their need for education,
particularly on how to find sources of livelihood, the municipal government has
been implementing the KABULTAN project since 2000. It has some 700
beneficiaries to date, with 74.61 percent passing the administered equivalency
test.

Mobile
libraries have likewise been established to augment the learning opportunities
provided by KABULTAN. It now has close to 4,000 beneficiaries.

Meanwhile,
IP couples have also benefited from programs carried out by Tanay LGU. They
were taught Responsible Parenting and Family Planning methods and were also
trained to serve as Community Health Program (CHP) managers serving 3,980
families across Tanay.

As
CHP managers, they help manage diseases occurring in their respective
communities using readily-available resources. The CHP Managers likewise ensure
that cluster families get access to
basic health services offered by
the local government.

Tanay
LGU has also established additional 7 high schools and 4 elementary schools in
its mountain barangays. Accordingly, the
municipal government has hired 44
locally-funded teaching personnel to man the said schools.

In
addition, the local government has been awarding
scholarship
grants

to underprivileged students. It now has 65.38 percent employment rate for
scholars who have already graduated. It also adopted the Madrasah program, in
which Muslim students were taught key lessons about their culture and
tradition.

Meanwhile,
to help in the ongoing efforts to promote Tanay’s various tourist destinations,
the municipal government’s Tourism department conducts year-round workshops and
trainings on Tour Guiding, Values Formation, Customer Service, and Tourism
Awareness. The program now has 214 accredited tour guides, with 19 of them
belonging to the IP community.

Tanay
LGU also looks after other sectors of the local community. It conducted the
“Bigay Kinabukasan sa Selda” project, where prison inmates were taught
livelihood program and basic literacy. The municipal government also
established a University of Rizal System extension campus and the Tanay
Municipal Library to provide learning opportunities to financially-challenged
college students in the town proper.

Additionally,
a Special Education program is also underway, which has helped eight SPED
students move to formal class in Tanay
National High School for school year
2014-2015. The LGU has also provided valuable trainings to farmers, with 27
beneficiaries coming from the IPs. The local government even provided free
literacy and livelihood program to residents who are engaging in kaingin and
illegal logging activities, hence turning their negative way of life into a
positive opportunity.

Guided
by his belief that “A literate community creates a better economy”, Mayor
Tanjuatco has been leading these multi-faceted efforts to promote learning
opportunities for his constituents.

Tanay
LGU hopes that by implementing all these programs, employing the support of
various sectors of the local community, and establishing funding, it can
eventually hit 100 percent literacy rate in the near future. (Tanay

President Aquino presides over

Board Meeting

Development Authority (NEDA) Board Meeting at the Aguinaldo State Dining
Room in Malacañang Palace on Thursday.



Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr.

Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima and NEDA Director-General Arsenio Balisacan,

The ICC will also discuss the Light Rail Transit Line 1 project, also known
as the Cavite extension project, which is part of the Aquino

The Cavite extension project is expected to serve around four million
commuters of Parañaque and Cavite province. The rebidding of the P65-billion
LRT 1 extension project was set last April 28.



Secretary Coloma said that in the second part of the meeting, the NEDA board
will review four projects: the infrastructure projects of the Department of
Public Works and Highways in Metro Manila and Laguna Lake Shore; the
irrigation projects of the National Irrigation Administration; the roadmap
for transport infrastructure development in the National Capital Region,
Central Luzon Region and Calabarzon Region; and the government integrated
financial management information system, which enables the government to
plan, execute and monitor the budget more efficiently.



The meeting started at 10:15 a.m. and is ongoing as of this writing.



The last NEDA Board meeting presided over by the President as chairman, was
held last May 29. The meeting, which lasted 11 hours, approved nine projects
worth P62.3 billion.



Also present at the meeting were Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Budget
Secretary Florencio Abad, Presidential Assistant for Food Security and
Agricultural Modernization Francis Pangilinan, Public Works and Highways
Secretary Rogelio Singson, Secretary Coloma, Secretary to the Cabinet Jose
Rene Almendras, Trade Secretary Gregory Domingo, Interior and Local
Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II, Transportation and Communications
Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya, Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala,
Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Ramon Jesus Paje, Science and
Technology Secretary Mario Montejo and Presidential Management Staff (PMS)
Head Julia Andrea Abad.

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has released P4.99
billion to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) for the continued implementation of the National Greening
Program, which aims to plant 1.5 billion trees across 1.5 million
hectares nationwide by 2016.



The program aims to cover approximately 300,000 hectares annually
from 2014 until 2016.



The fund release—charged against the FY 2014 General Appropriations
Act (GAA)—will support actual seedling and planting activities for
the year, as well as site maintenance and the protection of planting
areas already established in previous years.



“Our funding support for the National Greening Program is
well-timed, given that the season’s regular rainfall will allow
seedlings to grow faster. This year, the DENR’s tree-planting
efforts will give particular attention to areas with high poverty
levels, as well as regions that are susceptible to natural
disasters,” Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad said.



“The Aquino administration is definitely looking at all viable
solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change. We’re not just
looking at these options and twiddling our thumbs over them. We’re
taking active steps to implement our disaster risk management
programs,” he emphasized.



The program has exceeded its annual area coverage targets by an
average of 20 percent for the first three years of implementation.
Last year, it exceeded its annual target by 33,011 hectares,
resulting in 182,548,862 seedlings planted in 333,160 hectares
nationwide.



Moreover, the planting program has generated a total of 1.2 million
jobs in different regions nationwide since 2011. Last year alone, it
was able to hire 466,990 employees which is the highest number
recorded since the program began.



“Aside from mitigating the devastating effects of climate change,
the program also provides livelihood opportunities to the local
residents. Our efforts to protect our environment go hand-in-hand
with our commitment to protect and improve the living conditions of
our people, besides catalyzing economic growth in agriculture-based
communities,” Abad added.



From the P5-billion release, Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula) will
receive the highest allocation of P384.8 million for the provinces
of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, and Sibugay. This is
followed closely by Region IV-A (CALABARZON) with P379.3 million for
the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Quezon and Rizal. Central
Luzon—which includes the provinces of Aurora, Pampanga, and Zambales—has
also been allotted P366.7 million.



Seedlings for planting include those for trees that can be used for
timber and fuelwood. Other seedlings include coffee, cacao, rubber,
bamboo, rattan, and other fruit trees. Specific planting areas
include forestlands, mangroves, ancestral domains, civil and
military reservations, LGU-identified urban areas, inactive and
abandoned mine sites, and other suitable lands.



Of the total 1.5 million-hectare program target, 683,481 hectares
have already been cultivated as of last year, leaving 816,519
hectares to be developed until 2016.




Ex-Mayor, wife face criminal raps for
extortion

Source:


http://www.ombudsman.gov.ph

 

Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales ordered the filing of criminal
charges against a former mayor of Tabuk, Kalinga and his wife for
extorting money from a contractor.



In a 17-page Resolution, Ombudsman Morales approved the indictment
of Camilo Lammawin Jr., former Mayor of Tabuk, and his wife, Salud
Lammawin, for Direct Bribery and violation of Section 3(b) of
Republic Act No. 3019 (The Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.



Records of the preliminary investigation disclosed that the
Lammawins extorted P520,000.00 from Rodman Corporation, a contractor
of the Tabuk Water Supply Project, in exchange for the release of
payments due to the contractor.



Complainant Susan Rodriguez, treasurer of Rodman, stated that on
July 10, 2002 the amount of P100,000.00 and P300,000.00 were
deposited to the personal bank accounts of Mayor Lammawin and his
wife.



Rodriguez also alleged that on October 21, 2002, they deposited the
amount of P120,000.00 to Lammawin’s personal bank account, after
Salud made a phone call demanding for the money as it would be used
“for the purchase of land”. In exchange, the Lammawins would
facilitate the release of check payment to Rodman amounting to
P1,732,260.00.



Rodman’s construction manager Roy Ragunton stated that the release
of the payment would be made only if a “gift” is given to the Mayor
“for his personal needs.”



The Resolution found that the Lammawin spouses were recipients of
cash deposits made by the complainant as they failed to show
sufficient proof of entitlement to the amounts deposited.



It added that the “acts of the respondents showed conspiracy, in
unity of mind and purpose, in extorting money from the complainant."



Direct Bribery is punishable under Article 210 of the Revised Penal
Code.



Violation of Section 3(b) of R.A. No. 3019 is committed by “directly
or indirectly requesting or receiving any gift, present, share,
percentage, or benefit, for himself or for any other person, in
connection with any contract or transaction between the Government
and any other party, wherein the public officer in his official
capacity has to intervene under the law.”

The latest innovations Information and communications technology
(ICT) are allowing persons with disabilities (PWDs) to become
productive members of society, allowing them to work from home
without having to commute to work.



Online freelance work is one such ICT innovation that skilled PWDs
can use to earn income and become financially independent. It is
also consistent with the Philippines reputation of being one of the
leading destinations for information and communications technology
business process outsourcing.



Online freelance work, officially called “impact sourcing” is a
growing trend in the Philippines, with around 100,000 Filipinos now
doing online freelance work for various clients. Impact sourcing
will be featured extensively in an upcoming ICT Jobs and Skills Fair

The making of Amelia

Tanauan, Leyte – After Typhoon Yolanda toppled her home, Amelia
Suyom, 41, now lives in a makeshift home in Barangay Cabuynan that
stands out from the rest of the improvised houses in the area.



Her home is fully decorated with goods that is characteristic of a
sari–sari store like bags of biscuits, coffee packs, candies,
laundry soaps, noodles, and more.



Likewise, around her home are vegetables like squash, okra, and
pechay that she planted as part of her backyard gardening. She
learned to maintain a backyard garden as part of her learning under
the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.



“Katatapos ko lang mag-ani ng 70 pirasong kalabasa nitong summer.
Dinadala ko ang mga ito sa munisipyo para ibenta. Gusto ko roon kasi
malamig, hindi katulad sa bahay namin. Minsan, sumasaglit din ako
roon para makipagkuwentuhan. Marami akong kaibigan doon (I have just
harvested 70 pieces of squash this summer. I sold these at the
municipal hall. I like it there since it’s cooler than in my home.
Sometimes I would go there for chit–chat since I have gained a lot
of friends there),” Amelia gleefully told the staff of the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) who interviewed
her.



She put up her sari-sari store way behind Typhoon Yolanda through a
P5,000 capital assistance provided by the Self-Employment
Assistance-Kaunlaran (SEA-K) Program Level I of DSWD.



She is thankful that she was able to rebuild her store after
‘Yolanda’.



Difficult times



Prior to starting her own source of livelihood, Amelia cannot help
but laugh upon recalling the things that went through her life.



“Regular akong kliyente ng DSWD-Crisis Intervention Unit (CIU) mula
2005 to 2007 (I was a perennial client of the DSWD-Crisis
Intervention Unit from 2005-2007),” Amelia recounted.



Twice a month, she would go to the CIU to beg for rice and canned
goods.



She would also often ask for some cash to buy medicine for his son,
Renzo, now 17, who was then suffering from Meningitis.



These were trying times for Amelia, especially that she was left
alone by her husband to rear their three children.



She survived these difficult times by becoming a beneficiary of the
Job Network Service (JNS) which was designed to link perennial
clients of DSWD-CIU with prospective employers.



It is a safety net to provide assistance and social protection to
individuals in dire economic situations. It aims to empower and
enhance the financial capability of unemployed individuals to become
self-reliant, productive, and contributing members of the society.



The project was implemented in DSWD Field Office VIII from 2008 to
2011.



The beneficiaries of the project were provided with the following
services: job matching, occupational guidance and counseling, skills
training, and granting of cash assistance for transportation,
processing of requirements while looking for jobs as well as food
subsidy while waiting for job placement.



For Amelia, she was given financial assistance to start a small
livelihood project.



As a successful beneficiary of the JNS, Amelia was once invited to
give her testimony during a DSWD-organized gathering in Manila.



Better times



In 2009, Amelia was lucky to have been included in the SEA-K, a
non-collateral and interest-free loan of the DSWD. She used the
P5,000 capital assistance she got to expand her livelihood project
provided through JNS.



From that time on, she stopped knocking on the door of the
Department.



Through hardwork, she was able to expand her business. Fortunately,
her sari-sari store was not greatly affected by ‘Yolanda’.



She was, in fact, prepared for the typhoon. Amelia was able to save
most of her goods like bath and laundry soaps and toothpastes by
wrapping them in plastic bags. For the candies, these were carefully
placed in bottles.



Her house was washed away by the storm surge, but some of her goods
were saved as these were trapped by floating woods.



Amelia even related a funny story of how she struggled with strong
winds to keep her bag with P4,000 and medicines of her ailing son.



After ‘Yolanda’, she rebuilt her sari-sari store from the different
financial assistance given by various groups especially Tzu Chi
Foundation.



Cash grantee



In 2013, one of Amelia’s three children, Christian Jay, 9, was
included in the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, the agency’s
conditional cash transfer program that invests in the health,
nutrition, and education of zero to eighteen- year-old kids.



Aside from the cash grants, Amelia said that Pantawid Pamilya also
taught her how to meet their daily food needs through the backyard
farming that is being promoted by the Program. She grew organic
vegetables right in her backyard for their own consumption and for
added income. She continues her backyard farming until now.



Community involvement



Amelia has not only worked towards improving her family’s plight.
She also started to show her concern for her own community by
allowing her eldest son to join in various endeavors for development
under the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and
Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS).



Through Kalahi-CIDSS, the poorest villages in the country are able
to identify their primary needs and implement projects that respond
to their problems.



Lawrence has participated in the implementation of community
projects like the construction of a 695-meter tire path receiving of
P160 per day as allowance. The tire path links Brgy. Cabuynan to the
farmlands.



Amelia would have wanted to personally participate, but she has to
take care of her sickly younger son.



More than the assistance



For Amelia, more than the capital assistance and technical support
she got from DSWD, what she values most is the time that the staff
spent on listening to her problems.



“Sila ang naging sandalan ko noong panahong kailangan ko ng suporta
(They became my support system to go through the difficult times),”
she ended.




BIR boards advertising company with tax
evasion

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) today filed a criminal
complaint with the Department of Justice against PHD MEDIA NETWORK
2006, INC. (PMNI), together with its responsible corporate officers
- President/Chief Executive Officer HERMINIA DE LEON, and Chief
Financial Officer/Treasurer ROWENA M. NARDO – for willful attempt to
evade or defeat tax, and for deliberate failure to supply correct
and accurate information in its Income Tax Returns (ITRs) and Value
Added Tax (VAT) Returns for taxable years 2009, 2010 and 2011, in
violation of Sections 254 and 255, in relation to Sections 27, 105,
and 256, of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended
(Tax Code).



PMNI is a domestic corporation registered with the BIR and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with registered address at
10th Floor, Bankmer Building, 6756 Ayala Avenue, Makati City. It is
engaged in the business of advertising.



Records of investigation showed that PMNI was issued Letter of
Authority (LOA) No. 211-2014-00000059 for the examination of its
books of accounts and other accounting records for all internal
revenue taxes from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011.



In order to determine the true income received by PMNI for taxable
years 2009 to 2011, access letters were sent to business entities
that engaged its services. Replies to said access letters revealed
that PMNI received from its withholding agents/payors income
payments amounting to P294.82 million (DMCI - P12.73 million, &
Foodsphere - P282.09 million) in 2009, P282.73 million (DMCI -
P10.82 million, Foodsphere - P269.41 million, & Pharm Asia-Cuvest,
Inc. - P2.50 million) in 2010, and P226.3 million (DMCI - P11.3
million, Foodsphere - P207.6 million, & Pharm Asia-Cuvest, Inc. -
P7.4 million) in 2011.



Records of investigation, however, showed that PMNI declared in its
ITRs filed with the BIR gross sales of only P71.09 million in 2009,
P78.51 million in 2010, and P101.40 million in 2011. A comparison of
the gross income declared by PMNI in 2009 to 2011 as against the
income it received in the same years as certified by its
aforementioned clients disclosed that PMNI deliberately failed to
declare its correct taxable base by substantially underdeclaring its
taxable income by P223.73 million or 314.69% in 2009, by P204.23
million or 260.15% in 2010, and by P124.88 million or 123.16% in
2011.



Under Sec. 248 (B) of the Tax Code, an under-declaration of taxable
income by more than 30% is considered substantial and constitutes a
prima facie case of fraud tantamount to tax evasion.



PMNI, together with its responsible corporate officers, was sued for
an aggregate tax liability amounting to P532.6 million, inclusive of
surcharges and interests, broken down into: 2009 - P222.95 million
(Income Tax - P156.07 million & VAT - P66.88 million); 2010 -
P194.45 million (Income Tax -P130.21 million & VAT - P64.24
million); and 2011 - P115.20 million (Income Tax - P71.9 million &
VAT - P43.3 million).



The case against PHD MEDIA NETWORK, INC. (PMNI), and its responsible
corporate officers - President/Chief Executive Officer HERMINIA DE
LEON, and Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer ROWENA M. NARDO - is the
257th filed under the RATE program of the BIR under the leadership
of Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto-Henares.




Philippine Canine Club leashed with
tax evasion

http://www.dof.gov.ph

 

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) today filed a criminal
complaint with the Department of Justice against PHILIPPINE CANINE
CLUB, INC. (PCCI), and its responsible corporate officers - AUGUSTO
BENEDICTO S. SANTOS III (President, 2006 – 2008 & 2010), RONNIE
NATIVIDAD (President, 2009 & 2011), BERNARDITO JALANDONI REPALDOR
(Treasurer, 2006), DANNY RAMILLANO (Treasurer, 2007 & 2008), JOHNY
FILART (Treasurer, 2009), and EMMANUEL SANTOS (Treasurer, 2010 &
2011) – for willful attempt to evade or defeat the payment of Value
Added Tax (VAT), and for deliberate failure to file VAT Returns for
taxable years 2006 to 2011, in violation of Sections 254 and 255, in
relation to Sections 253 and 256, of the National Internal Revenue
Code of 1997, as amended (Tax Code).



PCCI is a domestic corporation registered with the BIR and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with registered office and
business address at Room 206 Hillcrest Condominium, 1616 E.
Rodriguez Sr. Avenue, Cubao, Quezon City. Its stated purpose is to
advance the study, breeding, exhibiting, running and maintenance of
purebred dogs through the maintenance of a Registry of purebred
dogs, regulating conduct of persons and organizations interested in
breeding, registering, selling, purchasing, exhibiting and running
purebred dogs and preventing fraud in connection therewith.



The case against PCCI stemmed from a denunciation letter from a
complainant-informant alleging that PCCI has been evading and
continues to evade the payment of the required VAT since taxable
year 2004.



Based on the information and documents gathered in the course of the
investigation conducted by the Special Investigation Division of
Revenue Region No. 7, Quezon City, it was discovered that PCCI
declared with the BIR gross sales of P34.24 million, P31.73 million,
P32.92 million, P42.54 million,P37.69 million, and P42.66 million
for taxable years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011,
respectively.



Records from the BIR, however, showed that PCCI failed to file its
VAT Returns and pay its VAT liabilities for taxable years 2006 to
2011. Since PCCI is engaged in the sale of services in the course of
a business pursuit, it is liable to pay VAT.



PCCI, together with its responsible corporate officers, was sued for
an aggregate VAT liability covering taxable years 2006 to 2011
amounting toP68.08 million, inclusive of increments.



The case against PHILIPPINE CANINE CLUB, INC., and its responsible
corporate officers - AUGUSTO BENEDICTO S. SANTOS III (President,
2006 – 2008 & 2010), RONNIE NATIVIDAD (President, 2009 & 2011),
BERNARDITO JALANDONI REPALDOR (Treasurer, 2006), DANNY RAMILLANO
(Treasurer, 2007 & 2008), JOHNY FILART (Treasurer, 2009), and
EMMANUEL SANTOS (Treasurer, 2010 & 2011) is the 256th filed under
the RATE program of the BIR under the leadership of Commissioner Kim
S. Jacinto-Henares. It is likewise a RATE case of Revenue Region No.
7, Quezon City.

POEA Governing Board lifts deployment ban on OFWs
returning to Libya under certain skills categories

Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz, Chairman
of the Governing Board of the Philippine Overseas Employment
Administration, yesterday announced the lifting of the deployment
ban on overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) returning to Libya under
certain skills categories. “The POEA Governing Board, in a meeting
duly convened, has approved Governing Board Resolution No. 9 Series
of 2014 allowing the processing and redeployment of OFWs under
certain skills categories,” Baldoz said. The resolution was signed
by Acting Secretary Ciriaco Lagunzad III, together with Governing
Board members Milagros Isabel Cristobal, Alexander Asuncion,
Estrelita Hizon, Felix Rofolfo Oca, and POEA Administrator Hans Leo
Cacdac, the Governing Board's Vice Chairman. The resolution takes
effect immediately and would allow the gradual re-deployment of
returning workers in the following categories: (a) OFWs employed by
diplomats, foreign embassies, missions, and international
organizations in Libya; (b) OFWs working off-shore in oil rig
platforms, provided they will not pass through, or spend their
vacation in, mainland Libya; (c) OFWs working for multinational
companies, government hospitals, and schools, as well as those
working for the Libyan National Oil Company; and (d) Filipinos who
are married to Libyan nationals. To further ensure the safety of
OFWs under categories B and C, they shall need to secure a
POLO-verified employer contingency plan for evacuation and
repatriation of workers, and a POLO-verified employer undertaking
with clear work site location in Libya. “Workers under these skills
categories are allowed to return to Libya provided that their
employers will issue a letter guaranteeing their safety, security,
and repatriation, in case the situation in Libya worsens and there
is imminent danger to their lives and well-being,” Baldoz
emphasized. "However, the board is maintaining its ban on
newly-hired OFWs until further advice," she added. The POEA closely
coordinates its action with the DFA, particularly in continually
monitoring the current situation in Libya, especially the dangerous
areas or “no-go zones.” The lifting of the ban came after the
Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) recommended on 11 June the
exemption of certain skill categories from the total deployment ban
in Libya. It can be recalled that the POEA, through Governing Board
Resolution No. 8 Series of 2014,, suspended the processing and
deployment of OFWs bound for Libya on 30 May 2014, because of
heightened civil unrest in that country, following the elevation by
the DFA of its status alert on Libya to Alert Level 3 (Voluntary
Repatriation Phase).

Statement of Sec. Teresita Quintos Deles at
the Oslo Forum 2014

OSLO FORUM 2014

Press Statement for the High-Level Press Conference

By Secretary Teresita Quintos Deles, Presidential Adviser on the
Peace Process - Philippines

18 June 2014 - Oslo







On March 27, 2014, the Philippine government signed a historic
agreement with the largest secessionist group in our country, the
Moro Islamic Liberation Front or MILF.



The international community played an indispensable role in that
agreement.



Responding to the voices of peace among the Filipino people and the
determination of the Philippine government to heed those voices—the
world came to our aid in many ways—through political support,
development programs, technical assistance and, most of all,
nurturing the trust and confidence that drove both sides to cross
the rubicon and forge an enduring peace.



If there is a single idea pervading my thoughts at this moment, it
is that peace knows no borders, no political lines, no ethnic
demarcations. It has been my privilege as a peace worker to witness
men and women of all origins and creeds and coming from distant
places, gather in one place to stop a conflict, get the parties to
the negotiating table and nurture peace talks to fruition.



In many parts of the world, nameless, faceless guardians of peace
engage in the most formidable duties in behalf of humanity—many
facing supreme sacrifices, at times failure or defeat, but never
losing faith in the argument that peace is possible if we try hard
enough.



The “Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro” that we have entered
into with the MILF draws from the experience of our nation and
people stretching almost half a century into the past.



Our people have endured terror, death and displacement of the most
desolate kind.



The Philippine government signed a peace agreement in 1996 that
turned out to be a failed experiment - with peace remaining elusive
and beyond our grasp. Our efforts to put the process back on track
were met with resistance, setbacks, and sabotage as the secessionist
movement was broken into two armed groups.



It was only under President Aquino when, three years ago, he himself
chose to break the impasse by meeting personally with the leader of
the MILF, Kagi Al Haj Murad, who joins the Oslo Forum for the first
time this year. They agreed to move forward, and, since then, both
sides have persisted at the peace table, determined to craft an
agreement that would be convergent and inclusive of all, especially
of the communities that have suffered most from the long war.



Before the year ends, our legislators have committed to pass a law
that will bring about much needed political and socio-economic
reforms under a new regional government, the “Bangsamoro.”



This will be followed by a plebiscite in the areas under the scope
of the law next year, ensuing a brief transition period until
regional elections are held in May, 2016.



As we move to achieve these political milestones, the parties have
also began to put in place a comprehensive and sustainable
normalization process that will, through a multi-track approach,
ensure that the weapons and the forces of the MILF are put beyond
use and communities are transformed from conflict and despair to
hope, productivity, and a chance at new beginnings.



We dare to say it is a democratic process bursting into full bloom.




And we take great pride that this process has been led and stewarded
by Filipino women in unprecedented numbers, including the first
woman in the world to sign such an agreement in the role of chief
negotiator.



The role of the international community in encouraging us through a
long and difficult peace process cannot be over emphasized. Let me
pause and address our gratitude to the government and people of
Norway – thank you for being our faithful partner through your
participation in the International Monitoring Team as well as
accepting the invitation of the parties to serve as a member of the
Independent Decommissioning Body for our Bangsamoro peace process.
Thank-you also for your continued willingness to serve as
facilitator for peace talks between government and the communist
insurgent forces.



For peace to have a fighting chance, we need to build sturdy
institutions to support it, at the global, regional, and national
levels, institutions that are represented at the Oslo Forum.



Dialogues for peace are a necessity, not a luxury – and its agenda
must be developed through a bottom-up approach where those with the
most hurt and hunger will have the best chance to obtain justice and
human security.

PHL urges G77+China to revitalize Global
Policy Framework in Disaster Preparedness & Response

http://www.neda.gov.ph

 

SANTA CRUZ, BOLIVIA — The Philippine government urged the Group of
77 and China (G77+China) to push for a revitalized global policy
framework in disaster preparedness and response, according to the
National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).



Economic Planning Secretary and NEDA Director-General Arsenio M.
Balisacan made this statement during The Extraordinary Summit of
Heads of State and Government of the G77+China on June 15, 2014.



“Without a doubt, natural calamities have become a major
consideration in framing our shared goal of sustainability and
development. Likewise, the challenges of climate change demand
action from all of us, individually and as a group, toward
establishing the well-lived society we all want,” he said.



Balisacan also emphasized that even with the Philippine government’s
efforts, natural calamities, with magnitude such as that of Typhoon
Haiyan, have negated some of the progress it has made and have even
pulled back development, especially in the affected areas.



“We commit to advance the G77+China’s interest and aspirations in
the Post-2015 Development Agenda, particularly in its call to scale
up existing commitments to eradicate poverty in all its dimensions,
achieve equality of opportunities for all and fight climate change.”
he concluded.



The G77+China, also celebrating its 50th founding anniversary this
year, is the largest intergovernmental organization of developing
countries in the United Nations (UN). The group provides developing
countries an avenue to articulate and promote collective economic
interests and enhance joint-negotiating capacity on all major
international economic issues within the UN system.



In September, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will convene a
Climate Summit alongside the annual General Assembly meeting. The
event is aimed at building on momentum ahead of official talks next
year when world leaders will agree on a legally-binding treaty that
would cut greenhouse gas emissions.



Also later this year, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
will meet in Peru in its last official high-level meeting before the
negotiations in Paris in 2015.




DAR turns-over P5.7-M infra projects in Negros
Occidental

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) recently turned over
P5.7-million worth of infrastructures to Brgy. General Malvar,
Pontevedra in Negros Occidental to improve the living conditions of
agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in this community.



Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer Lucresia Taberna said the
DAR provided the ARBs with P2.2-million worth of concrete
farm-to-market road, stretching from the main highway to Purok 1,
and a P1-million worth of agricultural warehouse that would benefit
their farm products for storage and marketing purposes.



“The Department also constructed 450-square meter multi-purpose
pavement networks in Puroks 1 and 5, that will be used to dry rice
grains, at a total cost of P1 million to further boost their
yields,” Taberna said.



Aside from agricultural facilities, the DAR also constructed a
two-classroom building with comfort rooms that costs P1.5 million
and is expected to benefit 189 students, most of them are children
of ARBs.



The infrastructure projects, which are implemented under the
Agrarian Reform Communities Project II (ARCP II), are expected to
benefit 249 agrarian reform beneficiaries.



Danilo Pongan, ARCP II Regional Point Person, said 40 percent of the
total costs of these projects were provided by DAR through the
Development Bank of the Philippines, while 35 percent were from the
local government of Pontevedra and the rest were from the national
government.




Municipal, City Agriculturist rally behind
Aggie Chief

The biggest organization of municipal and city agriculturists all
over the country has expressed its strong support to the work and
leadership of Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala, saying his
push for closer ties between devolved agricultural extension workers
and the Department of Agriculture helped strengthen the Filipino
agriculture sector’s competitive advantage.



In a two-page resolution sent to DA, the Board of Directors of the
League of Municipal Agricultural Officers, Municipal and City
Agriculturists of the Philippines Inc. (LeMMCAP) lauded Secretary
Alcala for supporting increased involvement of agricultural
extension workers and other actors in agri-fishery development
efforts. The group said it allowed faster delivery of updated and
appropriate technologies to the farmers and fishers, and facilitated
stronger investments by LGUs in the agri-fishery sector.



“[Secretary Alcala’s] expertise and forte on agricultural extension
created an enabling environment for increased investment in
agriculture and most importantly, participation of agri-extension
workers [in this development],” the resolution stated, signed by
LeMMCAP President Jesusa Noveda of La Paz, Tarlac and board
secretary Evangeline Puao of Consolacion, Cebu.



The “Local Government Code of 1991” (Republic Act No. 7160)
transferred the direct administrative supervision of thousands of
agricultural technicians and extension workers from DA to their
respective LGUs. Since coming into office in 2010, Alcala has worked
to strengthen partnerships with local chief executives and extension
workers through regular field visits and consultations.



One particular area of collaboration is in the implementation of the
government’s centerpiece food security blueprint called the Food
Staples Sufficiency Program, whose primary objective is to enable
the country produce all the rice that it needs.



Through the DA-Agriculture Training Institute, DA has re-tooled
agricultural officers and extension workers, and trained new
farmer-technicians, on locally-adapted technologies and applications
such as the integrated crop management and judicious of fertilizers.
The goal is to develop and upgrade local knowledge and technologies
that are not only inexpensive and environment-friendly, but also
reduce the cost of farm and fishery production.



Alcala welcomed the expression of support from LeMMCAP, saying it
inspired him to work doubly hard to gain the confidence and
cooperation of farmers and local leaders in the Department and its
programs.



“We will continue to take steps steps to ensure that our extension
systems are manned by workers who are competent in technology, in
economics, in farming, and in reaching small farmers,” he said.

The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) represented by
Megumi Muto, Deputy Director General for Southeast Asia and Pacific
Department, extended its support to the Philippine Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) Program through a grant on Technical Cooperation
Project for Capacity Development in Public-Private Partnership
Project Formulation. This initiative is set to enhance the

The PPP Center will act as the counterpart agency to JICA for this
project and will have oversight and coordination functions over its
implementation.



“We are very happy with the increasing support the country’s PPP
Program is getting from our international development partners. This
technical cooperation with JICA is a good opportunity for our
various PPP implementing agencies to further strengthen their
capacity to deliver solid and bankable infrastructure projects,”
said Executive Director Cosette V. Canilao during the ceremonial
signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between the PPP Center and
JICA on 18 June 2014.



The grant targets to strengthen the capacity of key implementing
agencies in PPP project formulation, structuring, and
implementation. Among the implementing agencies being targeted
include the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC),
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Energy
(DOE), Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of Health
(DOH).



The Technical Cooperation is set to be implemented as soon as the
procurement of experts is complete, as stipulated in the signed
agreement between PPP Center and JICA. The project is targeted to
commence in August 2014 and will be completed by the end of 2016.
